an unusual suit in court. Mrs. Mary
Kistner, more than ten years ago,
vas a charge on the district, which

then she died. A lot owned by her
has been twice sold. Mrs. Kistner
first sold it to E. R. Jacoby for $l,

is therefore void. They ask the
court to direct a resale of the prop
erty, and that $2OO of the proceeds
be set aside to meet the debt to the
